Commentary
Feuardent est très élogieux sur le revers de ce jeton dans ses commentaires. Il le rapproche du jeton du Conseil du Roi, son n°60, et du jeton de la Gendarmerie, son n°1150. Il suggère que ce jeton a probablement été gravé par Pierre Mérigot, graveur logé au palais royal de 1569 à 1573.
Il remarque aussi pour l’avers que “très beau travail. La Terre couchée est du style de Jean Goujon”.
Notre exemplaire est complètement énigmatique et sauf une démonstration de savoir-faire, nous ne voyons pas quel pu être le motif de sa réalisation. Faute de mieux et la Cour des Monnaies étant la seule pouvant être concernée par la réalisation d’un jeton aussi exceptionnelle, nous laissons ce jeton dans cette série.
Feuardent is very complimentary about the reverse of this token in his comments. He compares it to the King's Council token, his number 60, and the Gendarmerie token, his number 1150. He suggests that this token was probably engraved by Pierre Mérigot, an engraver based at the royal palace from 1569 to 1573. He also notes for the obverse that “very beautiful work. The Terre couchée is in the style of Jean Goujon”. Our example is completely enigmatic and apart from a demonstration of know-how, we do not see what could have been the motive for its creation. For lack of anything better and the Cour des Monnaies being the only one that could be concerned with the creation of such an exceptional token, we leave this token in this series

Historical background
COUR DES MONNAIES DE PARIS
(1552-1791)
In the Middle Ages, the Chamber of coins, located in the Palace, in the same premises as the Chamber of Accounts, was responsible for monitoring mints.. In 1522, Francis I gave it the powers of a real court to judge cases relating to counterfeit coin.. In 1552, Henry II erected this Chamber into a sovereign court, better known as the Cour des coins de Paris. The Court of coins of Paris had, in addition to its judicial powers, a political function (remonstrances, drafting of certain edicts. . . ) and control over weights and measures (it kept in particular the so-called "Charlemagne" pile). From 1704 to 1771 it gave up part of its jurisdiction in favor of the Cour des coins de Lyon. The Paris coin Court was abolished in 1791, during the Revolution. The Provost General of coins was a company responsible for policing coins and enforcing the judgments of the Cour des coins in the 17th and 18th centuries.. At its head, the provost general of the coins was an officer established to know the crimes of counterfeit coin and to instruct summarily the trials of counterfeit coin, the proceedings of which were then presented to the Court of the coins.
